<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to the Stupid History Minute. I'm your host,

2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Cap Pount. Today we're talking about the Cleveland Guardians. The

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Guardians have one of baseball's longest histories, even if

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>their name is one of the newest. The franchise was

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>founded in nineteen oh one as one of the American

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>League's original teams. After several name changes, they became the

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Indians in nineteen fifteen before adopting the name Guardians

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty one, inspired by the famous Guardians of

9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>traffic statues that stand on Cleveland's Hope Memorial Bridge. The

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>franchise has won two World Series Championships and has been

11
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 1>home to legends like Bob Feller and Larry Dobie, which

12
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>was the first African American player in the American League,

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Jim Tony, and Jose Ramirez. Sometimes history means honoring the

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>past while embracing the future. I guess this has been

15
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>the Stupid History Minute and I'm kept Pound. This podcast
